Bismarck is now in line with pro- gressive cities of ils size through the action of the city commission last evening in appointing a city assessor who will devote all his time to the du- ties of that important office. It has been the experience of other cities, that a trained assessor giving all his time to valuations municipality several times h each year, besides presenting a bet-{ ter and more equable tax list for the consideration of the city board of e ition. 4 grrighas made the annual as- se ts in. this community for years and has always filled a difficult post- tion with tact and to the general satis: faction of tax payers. The city commission is to be com- mended in taking the step. Fargo, Grand Forks and Minot have had city assessors for several years and re- ports from those cities show that the plan is a paying proposition. During the fiscal year, Uncle Sam took in more gold than the entire world produced in 1915, over $600- 000,000. Quite a temptation to bun glars. LEAVES DOOR OPEN. Lloyd George’s answer to Germany’s overture is not a flat refusal of the peace offer. It merely opens the way for Germany to state terms upon which the Allies can see their way clear to enter into negotiations. It is encouraging that the Entente Powers have decided to send a joint Note, expressing its views. This may mean that peace is much nearer than Present surface conditions indicate. The new premier has handled the situation discreetly. Like the Ger- man chancellor, he had well in mind the fact that the neutrals are a unit for peace. This Christmas season is brighten- ed by stronger hopes of peace than a @ year ago. The mere fact that the governing bodies are formally discuss- ing a possible basis upon which to end the terrible war is much to be thankful for. Just how sincere the deliberations are will be indicated ere long. Prob- ably much that is spoken both in Eng- Jand and Germany, is for home: con- sumption. For obvious. reasons, there can be no armistice. England would not con- sent to lift the blockade of German ports even pending peace conferences. The Central Powers would also op- Pose a cessation of hostilities that might permit the Allies to recoup in the Balkans and at other points where the Germans have been pounding N.| them successfully, All who hit Billy Sunday's sawdust trail evidently did not believe in a dry Boston, = WHEAT MARKET NERVOUS TODAY July Drops Off More Than Two Cents When Trading Opens Today (Associated Press) Chicago, Dec. 20.—The wheat mar ket opened nervous today. Wheat for May delivery, which closed at $1.64% to $1.65% yesterday, touched $1.62% in the last few minutes of trading. July dropped to $1.36, a do- cline of 2%c to 2%e, Signs that European governments were purchasing future deliveries of wheat, led at one time to a rather sharp upturn in prices, but for the most part the course of values was downgrade. Prices closed on wheat at the same as yesterday’s finish to 4¥%c lower, with May at $1.61%4 to $1.62, and July $1.35% to $1.35%. The grain exchange was divided to- day upon the significance of Lloyd George’s speech in the British house of commons and as a result the mar- ket showed limited changes today. December sold at $1.55, up 1%, and 2 below yesterday’s close. May sold at $1.64%, down % below the opening. Corn was lower; oats irregular, with provisions steady. o= i | GRAIN MARKETS DULUTH.
